introduce yourself to the =BFN= community - Dec 10 2010, 17:05

I'm Ross aka RossCo, 30 years young and I'm the developer of the BFN site and all things technical. 

I started gaming on pc about 12 years ago at least and been in several clans.  I've met loads of good guys through the years, some absolute weirdos but over all some very good friends. 

I was a founder of a well known BF2 clan called ERR which was multinational as Marty said, I ran the site and many day to day things.  We ran some of the most known BF2 64 man servers on the planet.  We were ranked anything from 1-4 which was an excellent achievement for the clan, I wasn't heavily involved in getting them there but I ran the site to ensure the users had somewhere to call home.  At it's height, we had nearly 1,600 registered members... we hope to some day top that here, so all you guests SIGN UP TODAY! 

Unfortunately things started getting hard to maintain and I decided to come up with a new idea before leaving.  I searched for many domain names to kick start my new idea and I came up with Battlefield Nations. 

Since my buddies mostly played BF games and were spread throughout the world, I thought that the name was most appropriate.  Before leaving ERR, I spoke to a couple of my good buddies and explained my new idea and we built upon the initial concept and slowly but surely... here we are. 

I'm a senior developer for a creative company in my home city which keeps me very busy but I have made extra effort to create a new look for BFN, all be it not cross browser tested, as you may of noticed... it will come!  IE6 users, FORGET IT!   This is the second look BFN has had, a lot of bespoke backend development which is still to be shown and lots of new features.  All hosted on a dedicated web server to ensure things stay nice and speedy for our users.

Recently I went a head and bought a dedicated gaming server and surprised the guys, they had no idea but so far they are all glad.  Our server have taken off so well, 6 MOH servers constantly full, 4 BFBC2 servers usually full (still need to get our regulars!).

Anyway, I still have much work to do for the network but that's a brief history about how I arrived here at BFN. 

I'll throw up my spiel even though I am not active at the present time.

I go by Trotter on here and most everywhere else, but I am Trotman_516 in-game (a play on my name, Trotter, and Col. Troutman from the Rambo movies). I am a 42 year old grandfather (oh, yeah, guys... my daughter gave us our first granddaughter on 29 September). I live in the US, Tennessee to be exact, so my accent is rather noticeable at times. I am a computer geek first and foremost, but I enjoy gaming when I can. The Battlefield series is what I play for FSP (first person shooter), but I didn't get started in it as early as some here. I may not be the best out there, but I have a good time and play for the team.

I, too, was a part of ERR as it was my first clan. I had a great time with the guys and made some good friends. When the clan fell apart for the last time I just sort of drifted around for a while. I found that Ross had put this site and clan together and joined up.

I mentioned not being active earlier and that has been the case. My old rig (computer) just wasn't up to BC2 snuff (s939 x2 4200 being the main culprit) so gaming was painful at best. Since then a blown PSU took out my motherboard and gave me the push I needed to finally upgrade to a machine that can crank right along. Problem is I don't have time to play. I plan on trying to fix this in the near future, though.

I am also an Administrator on a large computer help forum, so I help field any computer problems that people pop up with.

I'm Anastasios aka Amyndas 36 years old Greek Boy but live in Germany. When I bought my first online game (BF2),I landed purely random on the server from ERR I was so fascinated of the boys and your teamplay I wanted to join this clan.The clan had me then accepted after a long time.(It was so funny to kill Zippy always with the Sniper Rifle ).It was a good time to have fun with so many players from around the world if it was virtual.How it came to separation have told Rossco and Marti,so I also decided to follow the boys and  joined to BFN.

Hello out there, I go by the tag Lucky (or any dirrivative of it) im 33 and just moved from Mississippi USA to Warsaw Poland.  Im an avid gamer I was in a clan that played COD for some time but they disolved, i played in their socal leauge a few years back breifly.  modern warfare was my first onbline fps and I got hoked, I am now playing MoH and BFBC2.  Im not the best player but not the worst either just thye meat inb the middle. I dislike hax and liars, Honest fun fair gameplay is why people play games, and playing with likeminded people is even better. 
 After a few pints I tend to get a bit less serious and the language gets a tad colorfull, I hope Im not booted off ts when I do make the move there... I look forward to playing with you all.  Lucky

sounds about right
